I appreciate this is probably outside the list's allowed topics and ask your indulgence ... A friend of mine wants to get hold of (small) quantities of ochre for making reproduction iron-age pigments for ceramics. Any suggestions as to where she might be able to obtain them? (She lives in Somerset so any information on Mendip sources would be particularly appreciated.) Feel free to reply to me directly if you think the information would not be of interest to list members generally.
